Im fixin to get the 6000watt champion and run 9 300's with it and 2 converters

Flickering... well its gonna take a good expensive generator to get rid of that flickering.

Your gonna need clean power from an inverter type generator to cure that problem

Honda or Yammaha you pick the poision, but your gonna need a bit more money.

700 bucks will get you a bigger generator, but it probably wont cure the flickering.

If you watch ebay and craigslist you can normally come up with a Honda eu2000i for around $700 - $800. Save it up.. You won't regret it.

i can make the flickering minimal by opening the choke up a hair and making the genny run smoother but was looking for a genny that wouldnt have that problem. and i was afraid i was gonna have to buy and inverter style genny but ill have to go bigger than a honda eu2000i

 

[wesleystokes1]

the 2000 wont run 6 400s

 

[richy]

[VinnieG]

I know a store around here (atwoods) that sells a TQ brand 3500w / 3000w continous Inverter genny for around 800. I've never used one but u never know.

 

[irydhard]

its kinda rough running when the lever that goes from choke to run is all the way to run but when i move it slightly toward choke it smooths out

sounds like its getting too much air? why not just keep it and leave the choke where it does best? i love my champion gennerator...

well i may still keep it because when it smooths out the flicker is only minimal and you cant tell unless you look down at the light itself but out away from it you cant tell. so im gonna hook them all up and hit the water and see how it is
